Bureau Refugees Freedmen & Abandoned Lands 
Office Ass't Sup't Westmoreland & Richmond Co's. Virginia 
Warsaw, Richmond Co Va March 31st 1867.

Brv't Brig Gen'l O. Brown 
Assistant Commissioner B.R.F & A  State Va 
Richmond Va

General:  I have the honor to report in compliance with Circular No 6. Asst Com'r State of Virginia dated January 29th 1866 as follows:

The Whites are as per my previous reports bitter toward the Blacks. Under the new military regimene, the Whites generally, try to appear indifferent as to the Blacks voting.  They express themselves as being the most degraded people upon the face of the earth - that is, Congress has made them so - This of course is thrown upon the Freedmen whom they care as little for, save their ability to labor as any beast they may happen to own.
